241 suspicious place August 25

"By the way, who the hell are those guys who are chasing you?" God has no way.

"And all of them look strong." Lan Xiao was also quite curious.

"They're all from Wave City." Ballandau.

"It's strange, as far as I know, even Wave City is only a level 6 corps, and their corps leader Sinan is just a golden great sword master, how can he have more than a dozen platinum archers as his subordinates." God has no way.

"Although they are from Wave City, they are not Sinan's subordinates." Ballandau.

"What the hell is going on?" God has no way.

"The reason why Sinan wants me is not because he wants to marry me, as the outside world has rumored, but because I accidentally discovered an important secret from him." Ballandau.

"What an important secret." Castle Peak Road.

"The so-called Rose Corps is actually a branch of the Dark Sanctuary arranged in the Frost Empire." Ballandau.

"Temple of Darkness!" Qingshan and the others were surprised, they never thought that what they had guessed at the beginning would really be guessed.

"The other day, when I was in Gallentown, I mistakenly thought you were their people, so I attacked you." Speaking of this, Balan said apologetically, "Please forgive me for being rude. ”

"These things are nothing." Lan Xiao said hurriedly.

"Truth be told, we're also looking for the location of the Temple of Darkness." Shen Wu hurriedly said.

"Can you tell us everything you know about the Temple of Darkness?" Aoyama Masaki Road.

Balan looked at the three of Qingshan with some surprise, obviously she didn't expect things to be so coincidental.

"The thing is that 8 months ago, my father inadvertently got a strange Tiangang gem, it is a Tiangang gem with a very powerful owner, even enough to match the holy rank gem of the bronze holy sword, this news was leaked out by somebody, and attracted the covetousness of Wave City, they kidnapped my brother and coerced my father to hand over the gem, in desperation, my father had to call out the gem, but Wave City did not exchange brother, my father was angry, so he led all his men to attack Wave City, wanting to save my brother, It's a pity that my father didn't expect that all this was a trap, I originally thought that the strength of Wave City was on par with our Belle City, but I didn't find out until I entered the city that there were more than a dozen powerful platinum swordsmen in Wave City, and as a result, the siege troops were trapped in the city and slaughtered, except for the djinn desperately escaping, there was no life left,

After that, the defeated Belle City was annexed by Wave City, and I was also caught by Sinan, and then Sinan threatened me to marry him, I pretended to agree, on the day of the wedding, with the help of the giant spirit and my maid Xiao Jia, escaped from the city of Belle, but unfortunately in the process of escaping, the giant spirit and Xiao Jia died in the hands of the people who chased me in order to cover me. I was alone again, and I really wanted to die with those guys at that time, but thinking that my father and brother were still in the hands of Sinan's gang, I had to endure the humiliation, lurk, and try to rescue my father and brother, and then after several twists and turns, I finally found clues about my father and brother, but learned that they had been sent to the Dark Temple, the base camp behind the scenes of the Rose Corps. ”

At this point, Balan couldn't stop crying.

"The Temple of Darkness." Qingshan's calm eyes showed a cold murderous intent: "These hateful guys are doing these dirty things. ”

"I'm going to save my brother and father." Balan's face still had crystal tears, but there was still indomitable persistence and perseverance in his eyes: "But I am alone, my strength is limited, and it is impossible for me to be their opponent, so I can only lurk in secret, waiting for an opportunity." ”

Speaking of this, perhaps because he was too excited, Balan's original wound wrapped in bandages cracked open again, and the parts of his chest and wrists oozed bright red blood again.

"Don't get too excited, your father and brother will be fine." Kanna hurriedly comforted.

And Lan Xiao looked at Qingshan with an excited face: "Boss, you should say something." ”

"Don't worry." Qingshan slowly stood up, and then said in a deep voice: "Your father and your brother will be handed over to us, anyway, in order to save our partners who were taken away by them, we also have to go to the Dark Temple, now it's just to save two more people." ”

"Do you want to save people too?" Balan looked at Qingshan in some surprise.

"Not only to save people, but also to completely tear down the Temple of Darkness." Qingshan's cold eyes surged with murderous intent.

“。。。。。。。。” Balan looked at Qingshan Shenwu and Lan Xiao with a shocked face, she didn't know what the three people in front of her were, but for no reason, she had a natural expectation and trust for the three people in front of her.

"By the way, since your father and brother were taken to the Dark Temple, have you found out where the Dark Temple is?" Aoyama thought about the crux of the matter.

"The location of the Temple of Darkness." Balan looked at Qingshan with some hesitation, and then said, "I'm sorry I don't know where the Dark Sanctuary is. ”

Balan's answer made the three of them couldn't help but be disappointed, originally thinking that Balan could provide some valuable clues.

"But before he died, the djinn told me that he had found something suspicious." Balan said, "We're not sure exactly where it is, but I think we should be able to find some clues about the Dark Sanctuary there. ”

"What is it?" Qingshan, who was originally a little disappointed, couldn't help but perk up this time.

"It's a far away ore quarry." Ballandau.

"It's just an ore field, how can you be sure you can find a clue to the Dark Sanctuary there?" Qingshan hesitated.

"Because that ore field is all made of mammoth orcs, and there are defeated captives as slaves, who are responsible for mining." Balan continued: "What's even more suspicious is that there are actually a lot of masters to guard, there are more than twenty masters at the level of the Golden Great Sword alone, and the defense is quite tight. ”

"That's a bit weird to say." God has no certainty.

"Do you want to go and see it?" Lan Xiao looked at Qingshan.

"There's no other clue anyway." Aoyama said: "Then let's try our luck." ”

"Do you know how to find that place?" God has no way.

"I haven't been." Balan said, "But the djinn told him before he died, how to find that place. ”

"Then without further ado, let's go now." Castle Peak Road.

Ten days later, in the evening, the three of Aoyama, led by Balan, came to a high peak located deep in the Usna Mountains.

The sun is slanting in the western summer, the red clouds are all over the sky, there is a lake under the mountain peak, the lake water is clear and translucent, reflecting the red reflection of the sunset, and there is a kind of beauty that is out of the world.

It's just that this rare beauty Qingshan and the others have no intention of appreciating, and now they are carefully observing the situation of the lake.

And there is what Balaam said is a suspicious place.

Aoyama's electronic eagle eye had an astonishing farsightedness, so he could clearly see that there was an island-like castle in the center of the lake.

The lake is surrounded by rocks, and along the passage to the cliff formed by the piles of rocks, you can clearly see several black caves, which I think are the mine caves that Balaam said.

At this moment, a group of unclothed slaves were toiling hard, and the reason why they were called slaves was because Aoyama clearly saw that these people were all driven by leather whips.

and they were whipped like animals.

Guarding around the mine were a group of men in armor, armed with swords and leather whips, all of them like fierce gods.

Aoyama activated Blue Moon's radar detection function, carefully sensing the strength of the aura around the mine.

It was found that the situation was really as Baran said, there were 22 masters at the level of the Golden Great Sword Master alone, and the rest were 34 Silver Great Sword Masters, 42 Xuantie Great Sword Masters, and the rest of the guards ranged from 20 to 40, and there were more than 1,000 masters at this level, to say the least.

Such an exaggerated deployment of troops is simply unimaginable.

You must know that there are only eight Golden Great Sword Masters in the entire Yihe Palace, and 16 Silver Great Sword Masters, but this mine actually gathers 22 Golden Great Sword Masters and 34 Silver Great Sword Masters.

Moreover, Qingshan was not sure if there were any other platinum great swordsmen among these people.

The strength of the cultivation is a master who has reached the platinum great sword master, and he can generally skillfully shield his breath so as to avoid the detection of Qingshan's creatures.

Therefore, the real defense capability of this mine, Qingshan is not sure yet.

"It looks like this place is quite suspicious indeed." Qingshan said: "Heavy deployment of troops, and there is an extremely tight defense system between the valleys and lakes, and it is not easy to get close to somewhere."

"Or we'll go in and find out in the evening." God has no way.

"I think so too." Aoyama said: "But if you want to go, I can go alone." ”

Lan Xiao naturally had no objection to Qingshan's arrangement, but Balan was a little worried: "You have also seen it, where the heavy troops are deployed and the defense is strong, can you really go in." ”

"Don't worry." Qingshan smiled indifferently: "Although these defenses are strong, as long as it is night, they can't stop me." ”

Balan looked at Aoyama suspiciously.

You must know that Balan himself is a first-class master and has a strong sense of breath.

Because of this, she could clearly sense that Lan Xiao Shenwu's strength cultivation was very strong, and she had at least obtained the level of the first level of the Platinum Great Sword Master.

However, this Qingshan did not have any fluctuations in fighting spirit at all.

Then there are only two possibilities for such a person.

One is an ordinary person who has never cultivated his fighting spirit at all.

The other is that the cultivation of Dou Qi has reached the ultimate realm of returning to the basics, so that he can easily collect and shield his Dou Qi fluctuations.

But generally people who have reached this level of cultivation are also masters of the Sword Saint level.

And the Qingshan in front of him doesn't look like an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts.

Could it be that the fighting spirit cultivation with the guy has reached the top cultivation of the Sword Saint level.

Balan was taken aback by his speculation, but when he thought about it, it seemed unlikely, his luck was not good enough to casually meet a Juggernaut master.

Besides, if he is a master of the Sword Saint level, there is no reason why he should not wear holy armor and not bring a holy sword.

But this guy's armor is just ordinary Ugin armor, and his sword is also a dark iron sword without the slightest fluctuation of fighting spirit.

In this way, he is nothing more than a Xuantie Great Sword Master.

But it's still a little strange, if he was just a small Xuantie Great Sword Master, it would be impossible for Lan Xiao to listen to his orders.

Although the contact time has not been long, Baran can clearly see that these three people are led by Aoyama. , and it's the kind of recognition and compliance from the heart, which can only show that this guy's strength is definitely far from them.

In short, this guy is really weird and hard to see.

Balan on this side secretly guessed, but Qingshan Lan Xiao Shenwu on the other side had already begun to get busy.

Qingshan's observations were quickly compiled into a detailed and clear strategic map by Blue Moon.

And it was clearly drawn on the ground.

The three of them carefully discussed the details of the night's secret operation, as well as other corresponding work, and then they did not forget to report the plan of action to the Lanchi Imperial pigeon team, which was thousands of miles away, and asked Qingcheng and the others what they thought of this operation.

"This operation is mainly probing, and it is best not to have a head-on confrontation with the other side." Qingcheng's voice came from Qianli: "Unless you can determine the specific location of the Dark Temple. ”

"And be careful not to trap yourself in it." This time, it was Lan Zai who spoke.

"Your Majesty, when did you run to the pigeon group to hang out?" Hearing Lan Zai Lan Zai's voice, Qingshan was somewhat surprised.

"Haha, that's it, you're really a treasure." Lan Zai's excited voice came from the voice of Qianli: "This kind of remote command feeling is different, so the emperor occasionally makes a cameo appearance in the work of the pigeon team and the military strategy department." ”

“。。。。。” Lan Zai's words made Qingshan cry and laugh a little, it seems that this Lan Zai has become obsessed with this combat mode of instant communication and remote command.

"Okay, Your Majesty, this is the work of the Military Strategy Department, so you won't be involved." This time, it was Lan Yi's voice.

"Didn't I want to talk to Aoyama more?" Lan then said to Qingshan: "By the way, if the development of things is beyond your control, then ask the Heavenly Frost Empire for help." ”

"Your Majesty means that we can use the power of the Heavenly Frost Empire." Castle Peak Road.

"Not bad." Lan then continued: "But there must be a premise, then we must determine the specific location of the Dark Temple, otherwise we will never have a chance in the future." ”

"Understood." Castle Peak Road.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, the mountains and valleys are empty, silent, and in the jungle outside the barren rocky field, a ghostly black shadow quietly flashes and then disappears without a trace.

What kind of strength Qingshan had in the night, Shen Wu and Lan Xiao knew best, so they didn't follow.

And what they have to do is how to pick up Aoyama and get out if Aoyama is discovered.

This was planned for a long time.

Under the cover of night, Aoyama easily approached the perimeter of the ore field.

I was also able to get a closer look at the heavily armed mines, as well as the strange castle in the center of the lake.

It is a lake about the size of ten footballs. The island in the middle of the lake is two small islands the size of a football field.

It's just that this small island was obviously artificially added later, so it is better to say that it is a small island, but it is a surprisingly large ship-shaped castle.

The ship-shaped castle standing in the center of the lake has four pontoon-like passages extending from four caves in four directions, south, south, and north.

This makes the whole castle look more like a giant cross, lying in the middle of the lake.

Each pontoon bridge is at least more than 300 meters from the shore

At the moment, there are many patrolling guards patrolling back and forth on these four passages, and it is obviously not easy to enter the interior of the ship-shaped castle through these pontoons.

According to the general thinking, since the pontoon bridge can't be crossed, the best way is to dive, but as early as the daytime, through the induction of electronic hawk eyes and bioradar, Aoyama has clearly known that the lake is slow and terrible piranhas, even if Aoyama's cultivation wants to swim to the boat-shaped castle in the lake unconsciously, it is impossible.

However, this is not difficult for Aoyama, as early as the day, Aoyama thought of a way to cross the water, that is, a zipline.

In the modern army, among all kinds of special equipment, the zipline is definitely the most used tool.

And the military backpack that Aoyama carries with him has this special zipline,

It's only as thick as a fishing line, but it can hold a staggering weight, and a zipline wire as thick as a fishing line can even weigh up to two tons.

So the only thing Qingshan has to do is to find a suitable fulcrum, and then set up a take-off rope to build an air passage.

And the fulcrum chosen by Aoyama is a tall conifer pine.
